Reply With QuoteYeah, once you use a bigger screen a smaller one is a pain. Mounted a smaller one one the front of my boat yesterday in case we need to slow troll this weekend and IT'S SMALL compared to my other one.

GEEZZZZ man, I didn't realize it was that much bigger. When I'm running a split screen with a lake map and SI, I can bearly see the SI and I have it on a 60/40 split with the SI being the 60

I upgraded from my 898 to the 1198 this summer. The 1198 is super nice. The best thing about it, is that you can have SI, 2D, Maps on the same screen and they are all big enough to see. Also, if you are looking for structure or fish strictly... you can put the SI on the whole screen you can see alot more and scan a much wider area without everything getting too small. The 1198 also has a much faster processor so when you load the maps or switch from screen to screen there is basically no drag time. I use to have some drag time on start up with the 898. It was no big deal but you can tell the difference. Btw - the 1198 is huge... When I sold my 898 I just sold the head unit... So I kept my tranducer and GPS. I then mounted the transducer and gps of the 1198 to the front of the boat so I have duel mounting locations to fit what ever style of fishing for that day.

A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

As I recall... the 1198 was much cheaper than dual HDS systems and a no fishing license ticket!
